The Spirit of the Andes Adventure

This voyage provides an unforgettable experience viewing the awesome Avenue of the Volcanoes with its many snow-covered peaks and summits, towering over 19.000 feet above sea level; the green valleys, cultivated in terraces like a mosaic patchwork of color and produce of the fertile land; the high moorlands and their unique fauna and flora. The tour includes, among its most notorious highlights, the Cotopaxi National Park, at the foothills of Mount Cotopaxi, Earth's highest active volcano; Baños, Ecuador's most renowned thermal springs and adventure sports center, nestled in a narrow valley between steep hills, roaring rivers, cascades and the flanks of the active Tungurahua Volcano; the famous "Devil's Nose Rail Adventure" with its zigzag design, considered the world's most challenging feat of railway engineering; the historic Inca Ruins of Ingapirca and Cuenca, the country's third largest city and for many, the most beautiful one, declared also by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site.

The stunning sights, the charming hospitality of the people, the colorfulness of the towns, markets and ancestral costumes; the aromas of the local cuisine; the exquisite elegance of historic haciendas, converted now into fascinating country inns, are the frame for a variety of activities which will offer the guests a never to be forgotten experience, a glorious feeling of what the magic Spirit of the Andes is like...
